Better have some way to redirect engine heat to the grill, too. Those big driveways can take quite a while to clear.

If you need something like that, your beer is cool already!

That snow closed Gander Oceanic Control Centre for parts of the day. Must be crazy up there.

Nope just finished shoveling out. This winter wonderland is my oyster!

Takeda Shingen · 01-27-11, 04:40 PM

I didn't mind the shoveling up until today. This stuff was wet and heavy and lots of it.

It needs sharks teeth.

I just shoveled out about 100 feet of pathways here in New Haven, CT.

anywhere from about 9 inches to two feet. my stepdad backed up to a large plowed out back to find the entire back of his car covered in snow. So I shoveled enough to push him out, but that was about 4 feet of snow behind the car. I'm done though, the plow guy just showed up.

And to think I just picked up my new AWD vehicle from the Dealer last weekend.

Was sure glad to have it this morning.

Sigh... It amazes me when I see people running around screaming "OMG SNOW!!! AHHH WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"

Grab a hat ya pansies.

Blizzard are wonderful time. Time to get that board game onto the table. If not at least the internet is still going.

Better snow and confined at home than having to deal with these on daily basis.

I heartily agree. Snow days are Mother Nature's way of telling us to sit down and relax for a few minutes.
